    I would say McGinn as well. He's more consistent.

    @WestHam06 Richard_Scope 
    I do agree with you both that John is more consistent for Villa 
    Do you recon Villa do need a proven goalscorer for next season? 
    I look for to hear what other people in community views.

    Hi @Globster
                           Great question. I do think Villa need a proven goal scorer next season. I know they have Wesley but I think they  definitely need another striker as once he was injured they struggled to get goals from strikers. Who do you think would be a good striker for them to buy? Do you think Jack Grealish will stay? Thank you.

    I think Grealish will be on his way. Somebody will be willing to pay over the odds for him.

    Who are picking for the FA Cup final?

    @Adrian_Scope I think grinesh  will go but someone will buy him
    Do you think someone will buy Callum Wilson from Bournemouth?  
    Do think Villa should Callum Wilson from Bournemouth because it a proven goalscorer?
    I would appreciate hearing what others views are? 

      I think Arsenal will beat Chelsea in the fa cup final.

    Hi @Adrian_Scope
                                     I really do think that Arsenal will beat Chelsea today but I am really hoping that they will win it as well.  COME ON ARSENAL! :) 
    Also, I agree with what you say about Grealish, with all respect I think he is overrated. Thank you.

    Hi @Globster
                           I do think that Callum Wilson will leave Bournemouth, but I'm not sure he will go to Aston Villa though they should go for him as I think he would be a great addition to any squad and they are in need of a goal scorer. It will be interesting to see where Wilson ends up. Thank you.

    Massive congratulations to Arsenal, so thoroughly deserved as you were by far the better team :) What about that FA Cup lift though, one of the more memorable ones :) And what made the win all the more sweet for me was that myself and my family all guessed the score and I was the only one to get it right :) Please may I ask, what are people's thoughts on  Aubameyang's future, does it lie at Arsenal? Thank you.

    I think Auba will stick around for another season. He'll be 32 by then which will make him prime age to become a galactico.

    The match was quite comfortable after the first 10 minutes, even if the lift was a bit painful to watch! :lol:

    I'm sure someone will buy Callum Wilson. As you say, he's a proven goalscorer and in the prime of his career. Seems a perfect fit for a mid-table side.

    @Adrian_Scope I agree with you completely about Callum Wilson, he's way too good for the Championship, as are quite a few of Bournemouth and Watford's players. 

    What did you all think of the playoff final and Fulham making it back to the Premier League?

    I thought the Playoff Final was a dull match, to be honest. I'd heard and read great things about that Brentford side.

    The play-off final was fairly dull but I always tend to think they are built up and then are a little bit of an anti-climax, though that is just my opinion. I mean given that it is one of the richest games in football, I thought it lacked quality. You're right @Richard_Scope Brentford are a great side but I always felt they were never destined to win the play-off's. They had the chance to go out automatically, I believe out of three games left they only had to win one and given their form I would of thought they could have done this, especially given the teams they had to play, but they didn't. I think Fulham will have a tough time next season but Scott Parker is a fantastic young and upcoming manager so I think if they stick with him they are destined for great things in the future. Thank you.

    Hi everyone, 
                        Hope everyone is well. I do this every year before the season's fixtures are released for a bit of fun. I predict the first game of the season for West Ham. I thought perhaps other people may like to try to predict their team's first game of the season.  Please join in if you would like too. My prediction is Newcastle vs West Ham. Thank you/.
